[vim/vim] GVim Very Slow on High Resolution Displays (Issue #20479)
Benjamin Block
mageta created an issue (vim/vim#20479)Steps to reproduce
When I use GVim (GTK+-3) on high resolution displays it is extremely sluggish/slow. Especially during scrolling everything slows down to a crawl.
Here is a short video showing the effect (me scrolling fast with the mouse wheel, and calling a command that creates a list on screen):

It's been like that for quite a while now. I tried using the configuration option set lazyredraw, but that doesn't help.
I mainly use Wayland, but even if I start GVim with env GDK_BACKEND=x11 gvim -Y it doesn't improve much (it actually improves a little, but not much).
I tried compiling GVim against GTK-4; but that was basically unusable. It's even worse than GTK+-3, not sure why.
Any ideas why that might be?
Expected behaviour
GVim is fast and responsive.

I'll give it a go next week when I have the Monitor in question again.

mageta left a comment (vim/vim#20479)Yes, indeed, it works fine now with GTK4 and HW-Acceleration. I haven't given GTK3 a test because the last time I looked that PR was still in draft.
I can give it a spin, if you want, but otherwise this can be closed.
Thanks a lot!

No problem! You're welcome to do that and compare :)
